Na. We are better but they aren’t terrible. Top6 easily 

 

Disagree. Any mid-table SPFL team are terrible.

HT. 1-0 and it feels comfortable. Rowles and Halkett dominant, Haring in a stroll and Shankland and Boyce scaring their horrendous centre halves.

 

FTH

McKay head and shoulders above everyone else - that bit of control near the end of the half. Just class.

Deserved half time lead.

 

Would expect them to come at us at times and we've generally handled them well. Difference is we have quality in McKay and a proper striker in Shanks. Outside Cadden they have no ideas.

 

Grant's set pieces have been awful today. 

 

Porteous a red card in waiting. 'Rocky' looks so shakey too. We need to exploit both of these.

Really pleasantly surprised by Shankland. Not sure about Grant or Rowles tbh, but it's extremely early days so plenty time to step it up. Forrest quiet but very direct.

Not a great first half.  We are in control, but not dominating as much as we could.  Grant pretty poor, everyone else ok.  Great goal.  We look like we could step it up if we want to though.

Grants delivery for a set piece taker has been rotten. We are doing fine just need to up the tempo. Everything coming down the right so we need to man mark Cadden out this second half. Boyle will definitely come out second half which will give them a boost. We just need to keep getting in their faces

Don't think Forrests been great today, Robbie should tell.him at half time to just run at Bushiri all day 


Poteous is on a yellow - won’t enjoy Forrest or MacKay running at him.  Just need to get them both on the ball more.

Grant has excellent technique. Hard to judge him in a fixture like this in isolation. He'll do well for us.

 

Frenetic nature of this fixture and being up against some real cloggers can't be easy for a someone in middle of the park.

Happy with that. Everyone playing well, nobody really off it too badly, although I think the intensity has rattled Grant a bit. We're in control generally. What's this weird thing Hibs do with the bursts of energy? They have these little 2 or 3 minute spells where they chase everything down, play really direct, and actually look dangerous, but then absolutely nothing in between. Mental.

We are mikes better than them all over the park. Not playing our best though so hopefully pick up in the 2nd half for a comfortable victory. Need more from grant and Forrest.

They've all been in quite wank areas tbf. I'd still bet on him closer to the box.

Gino should be watching Forrest closely to learn what it means not to hide when you aren't having your best game.

Rowles looking pretty composed I thought. Starting to bring the ball forward with confidence also.

I think Rowles has been excellent so far.

Grant is a passenger and his dead ball is as bad as anything I have seen. Time for Devlin and get Forrest running at them.

Yeah I would be replacing him with devlin. I also don’t think Shankland and Boyce has worked but it’s the first game so I’d give it more time.

McKay and Shankland have been great. 
 

Haring strolling it.

 

Halket looks confident. 
 

Grant been awful at set pieces. 
 

Amazing save by Gordon.

 

Great clearance by Shankland.

 

Porteous shite thug.

All roads lead to Gorgie

Richard Gordon desperate for the everyone in the sportsound studio to agree with him that the Shankland goal was a hand ball. The Guys a ****

Playing really well considering we’re doing so with 10 men. If Jorge Grant decides to start playing, we might be able to run away with this. Next goal crucial, definitely need that 2nd…

Bizarre response to my comment about VAR. Just imagine Collum watching this game, jumping at any opportunity to disallow a goal or give a red card.

Absolutely. Forrest is constantly making himself available and showing some dig.

...a bit disco

Happy with that.

 

Shankland & McKay have been good, defence decent, Gordon is Gordon.

 

Hibs new wondersignings look very lightweight. Long live Johnson(HOOOOOOOOOOOF!!!!!11!!111!)ball.

As long as they keep shelling their " flair ball" straight up the middle, we'll see this out. 

They were getting a lot of joy up the wings but seem to have quelled that. 

Sitting on a 1 0 lead is awful though. Need a second goal
